<span>The first number = x
The </span>second number = 2x-3

x + 2x-3 = 36
3x = 36+3
3x = 39
x = 39/3
x = 13

The first number = x = 13
The second number = 2x-3 = 2*13 - 3 = 26 - 3 = 23

The error is that the student measured the wrong side. Acute angles are less than 90 degrees. So it isn’t possible for the measure to be over 90. The correct measure is 49

using two of the number cards from the list, fill in the gaps so that the values are in ascending order

Mademuasel [1]

The two gaps of the series are 236 % and 2.41.

The series is 2(32/100) _, _ , 247/100.

We are given that the series is in ascending order.

Let the missing numbers be x and y respectively.

We know that 2(32/100) = 2.32 in decimal form and 247/100 is 2.47 in decimal form.

Hence, we can write,

2.32 < x < y < 2.47

The given options are:-

231 % = 231/100 = 2.31 < 2.32

Hence, it is not the answer.

0.42 < 2.31

Hence, it is not the answer.

236 % = 236/100 = 2.36 > 2.31

Hence, this is one of the answers.

34 % = 0.34

0.34 < 2.31

Hence, it is not the answer.

0.237 < 2.31

Hence, it is not the answer.

2.41 > 2.32

Hence, this is one of the answers.

24.2 % = 24.2/100 = 0.242 < 2.31

Hence, it is not the answer.

0.36 < 2.31

Hence, it is not the answer.

As, 2.36 < 2.41, hence,

x = 2.36 or 236 % and,

y = 2.41

The line perpendicular to y= (-3/2)x -4 and goes through (1,4)

Paladinen [302]

Answer <u>(assuming it is allowed to be in point-slope format)</u>:

$y-4 = \frac{2}{3}(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, determine the slope. We know it has to be perpendicular to the given equation, $y = -\frac{3}{2} x-4$ . That equation is already in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b format, in which m represents the slope. Since $-\frac{3}{2}$ is in place of the m in the equation, that must be the slope of the given line.

Slopes that are perpendicular are opposite reciprocals of each other (they have different signs, and the denominators and numerators switch places). Thus, the slope of the new line must be $\frac{2}{3}$ .

2) Now, use the point-slope formula, $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the new equation with the given information. Substitute $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ for real values.

The $m$ represents the slope, so substitute $\frac{2}{3}$ in its place. The $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects. Since the point crosses (1,4), substitute 1 for $x_1$ and 4 for $y_1$ . This gives the following equation and answer:

$y-4 = \frac{2}{3}(x-1)$
